A switch is more intelligent than a hub because it can analyze incoming data packets and determine the appropriate destination for each packet based on MAC addresses. This allows switches to send data only to the specific device that needs it, reducing network congestion and improving overall efficiency. In contrast, a hub broadcasts data to all connected devices, leading to potential collisions and unnecessary traffic. Additionally, switches can support features like VLANs and Quality of Service (QoS), further enhancing network performance and management.
What else can I help you with?
Which is more effcient for networking traffic a switch or a hub why?
Switch because it is at least a little intelligent and can send data packets to the correct port.-----------A switch also regenerates the network signal, where a hub does not.
Which is more efficent for networking traffic a switch or a hub?
It depends on the number of clients in the LAN segment, but in general a switch is more efficient than a hub.
Which network device can route packets based on intelligent decisions?
Switch
What is difference between hub and switch in computer?
a hub is a central point in a network through which all the wires pass, a switch connects more than 2 LAN networks
A hub is smarter and more efficient than a switch and keeps a table of all the devices connected to it?
False
Should I get a hub or switch for my home office?
I suggest a hub as they are more reliable.
Do you need more than 1 router to connect 10 computers to the net?
No. One way to connect the additional computers is via a wireless network. But if you must have a wired network of 10 comupters, you could buy a switch or a hub to extend the network. Routers also have a built in switch, but they are more expensive. A switch is better than a hub and costs a little more.
Is a router a hub or a switch?
More like an antennae.
How many ports in hub and a switch?
I don't think it has to be anymore than 2, but it can be quite a few. The problem with a hub say for a computer like a usb hub is that each device receives less power and they are all sharing the same port, its like hooking 5 computers to one modem.
What would I need to hook up more than one computer on the same network?
You'll need a router, switch or hub to hook up more than one computer to a network.
Why are switches more important than hubs as they both transmit data through ports?
Switch work's full-duplex mode, but HUB work's on Half-duplex mode. each port of switch is a different collision-domain, but HUB is single collision-domain.
What are the advantages of switch?
Switch is faster than HUB. If you are using managed switch you can create VLAN, you can secure ports and many other things.
